A day has passed since (Y/n) last met up with L in Ochitsuite, meaning a day has gone by with (Y/n) formally accepted to help L in the Kira Investigation with no means of force. Nothing of concern has transpired to her after wandering out of the cafe with a warm bun in her hand, the night sky aging with the moon behind her back.

Now all she was doing was staring at her bedroom ceiling, the phony moon and stars satisfying her, as she now had nothing to do. School was out for a couple more days, meaning that there was nothing to please her leaving (Y/n) with the recognizable feeling that she always went through whenever inside the Shinigami Realm.

(Y/n) doesn't appreciate this feeling.

Groaning in gloom (Y/n) rolled out of her bed and onto the floor with a harsh 'thud'. As far as she knew, Light was able to kill Raye Penber—the detective set out to spy on Light—and that his wife was now out to find Kira and end him. Now, (Y/n) knew his fiancee had an advantage.

(Y/n) observed her actions and movements for a period as she traveled on the bus where her husband was discovered lifeless. She watched her as she interrogated the bus driver from that day, and when she finally figured out the most crucial pointer to figuring out Kira thus far; he can execute others with better options than just a direct heart attack.

'This information is quite essential to maintain the identity of Kira, a secret; very much so. However, I think I am missing a vital clue in this scenery, but I don't know what.' Biting her fingernail in thought (Y/n) got up from her floor and walked over to her drawer, yanking it open as she picked up her phone.

'Perhaps it's much wiser if I confine this information to Light before he finds out. This might spare me and him a few headaches.' Flipping her phone open (Y/n) pushed the keys and opened the calling app, about to press Light's contact only for her phone to suddenly start ringing as Light was the one calling her instead of the other way around.

"Or not."

Accepting the call (Y/n) heard shuffling on the other end before the voice of Light reached her ears. "(Y/n), do you wanna come to drop off something with me?" Already adjusting her hair (Y/n) exhaled; "Damn it—alright give me five minutes to put something on. Didn't wanna stand under the sun for a couple more days, but I guess this is fine."

'I can't let Light get into too much trouble now with that badass detective after his weave.'

A light laugh echoed on the other line as a door closing could be heard. "Alright, I'll wait out your door. Hurry, it's for my father." Pausing as she was about to put on some pants (Y/n) continued, her eyes clouding in thought as she recalled her call last night, with L informing her about his encounter with the lingering detectives that wished to support him on the case.

'Suicidial hypocrites.'

"Yeah, yeah—I know you're really worried about your pops, Yin-Kun. With this Kira on the loose and stuff, one can't be too careful." Clicking her tongue (Y/n) slipped on her shoes as she raced out of her room and snatched her house keys, going down the stairs as she finally made it to the front door. Sensing that Light was behind her door (Y/n) sighed and opened it swiftly, stepping out as she stubbornly established her position as the lead.

"Come on. There is something that I wish to talk to you about."

Staring at (Y/n) in bewilderment, Light shrugged it off and joined in with her steps, speedily making it to her side as he looked down at the important Shinigami. "What do you wanna talk about?"

"People know that there's more than one way to murder someone by your dainty book, Yin-Kun. And the person who knows it isn't just one puny player." Time seemed to pause as (Y/n) glanced over at the fixed Light with a subdued expression on her face, eyes impassive as an untouched pond as Light's own eyes seemed to grow redder by the second.

"What?"

"You heard me; someone knows about your hopelessly kept secret, Light, so you better act quick because they... they are fast."

Not realizing what to do after announcing the secret, (Y/n) looked to the side and saw Ryuk there, gawking at the both of them before dropping on his back in the air, laughing his ass off as he held his stomach in laughter. "The intelligible Light has finally been figured out! Ah, what a day!" Wiping away a nonexistent tear, Ryuk wafted back over towards (Y/n) and slithered an arm over her shoulder, mouth close to her ear as a crooked smirk spread on his face.

"Morning my yeobo!" Seizing his tongue before it could feel her earlobe (Y/n) glared blankly towards her friend, a frown fixed on her lips as the atmosphere seemed to weigh much more than it actually does on their shoulders, the air thick as it suddenly become much more complicated to breathe for both Ryuk, and Light.

"Oh, sorry 'bout that." Letting go of his tongue (Y/n) rubbed his saliva on Ryuk's clothing before staring back at Light, her face back to the casual and carefree one that the two of them were familiar with. "This is serious and requests urgent procedures. Or not. You know, give it some time to bubble before the frog dies." Shrugging her shoulders in indifference (Y/n) continued leading, only to turn around soon after, looking at Light with a sheepish look.

"Where are we going again?"

Shaking his head slightly with a smile fixed on his lips, Light brushed by the still Ryuk as he trudged somewhat in front of her, the bag of clothing tight in his grip. "Just stay quiet and I'll show you."

Leading ahead as (Y/n) followed Light to where they were going, Ryuk eventually jerked out of his stupor as he desperately peered behind him and floated there hurriedly, unwilling to leave her alone with such a guy.

"The number you have just dialed..."

Hanging up on the failed call, Light stared down at the contact on his flip phone, indecisive about what was making him so inattentive with his calls. "That's unusual for dad..." Choosing to think about it some more, Light put away his phone and stared ahead as (Y/n) was being transported on his back, half-asleep as her legs throbbed.

"You humans and your legs... everyone here should consider changing them for carriers or wings instead." Moping (Y/n) grumbled this under her breath as she closed her eyes, already done with breathing in human shit.

"I wonder if he's at an important meeting..."

"Oh, look... the National Police Agency and National Public Safety Commission... hope whoever names this place dies."

Sighing in dissatisfaction, knowing that she was going to have to get off of his back (Y/n) lazily dropped and landed softly on the ground, her legs aching at the result of the walking she's been doing past couple of weeks.

"Let's get this done quickly."

Strolling inside the building (Y/n) boredly glanced around, examining the place before her eyes widened as her head jerked to the front, gazing at a determined female who was trying to get past the security.

"Please... I must speak directly to someone from the task force."

"Light..." Staring down at the serene-looking (Y/n), Light inclined his head down as she moved her mouth close to his ear, making a slight blush bloom on his cheeks, though never of them seemed to take notice. "... that's the gal."

Hardening his face in apprehension, Light brought his head back up and looked at the woman along with (Y/n), both of their eyes looking at their next victim with tranquility.

"I've told you already, there is no one in the Kira Task Force Headquarters." Receiving this remark coming from the alleged receptionist (Y/n) tilted her head.

'There's no one at Headquarters? Dad's phone is off... what's going on?' Watching this scene coolly, Light put on his trademark smile on his face, his eyes tranquil and warm. "Is there any way I can contact them? It's something very important regarding the Kira Investigation."

'(Y/n) was right... now they have the Kira Investigation in motion.'

Catching the sight of Light walking forward (Y/n) opened a lollipop and inserted it inside of her mouth, walking alongside Light as the both of them headed towards the woman. 'Wonder what Yin-Kun got in his noggin' now.'

"Well, I'll try to call their headquarters once more." Picking up his desk phone, the man went to call again, only for two figures to obscure the natural sunlight that was pouring through the broad windows, their faces impassive and uncaring as Light presented the bag to the two receptionists.

"I'm Detective Superintendent Soichiro Yagami's son, Light—and this is my younger sister. I brought a change of clothes for my father, but it doesn't look like he's here, could you hold on to these for me?" Handing over the bag to the man in a coffee-colored suit jacket, the male looked to shine in recognition at the teenager before him.

"Sure, Light; I haven't seen you around in a while. Oh! And the younger sister! How you have grown into such a beautiful young lady!"

'I'm older than the human race, fuckface.'

"Remember? We solved that insurance murder case with your advice. I was the receptionist then, too." Grabbing hold of the bag while he was speaking with Light, (Y/n) hid her snicker as she saw how agitated Light was becoming.

"Really, I'm sorry... I just write my name here, right?" Bowing his body slightly down, Light grasped the pen and started writing something down, his concern away from the chattering male. "Does this mean you're going to help out with the Kira case, too?"

Letting go of the pen, Light rectified his back and looked at him. "Yeah, if all goes well, I might be able to beat L." Squeezing a section of Light's skin (Y/n) smiled over at the receptionist, her vivid and kind smile making the man blush in response.

Becoming surprised by what Light said, Naomi looked up with enlarged eyes, her mind making up peculiar thoughts on the matter. 'Beat L?'

"Nobody's at headquarters. Please trust me on this. I'll be sure to give them your message."

"That won't do. It must be in person."

"Excuse me... our father is the chief leading the Kira Investigation. Do you want to leave a message with me? His cell phone is off, so I can't tell him immediately, but they're probably busy. A bunch of FBI agents were killed, and a lot of detectives quite the case because they were afraid of Kira."

"Light, you shouldn't be telling civilians that..."

"People are already talking about it. Besides, this person is trustworthy. I can tell by looking at her eyes. She's a very wise and careful person. You've heard about the FBI incident, and you figured out that there's a problem within the Japanese police force itself. That's why you want to speak directly to headquarters. Did I get that right?"

'Yin-Kun... every word you said felt like a threat.'

Wandering away with the two of them (Y/n) stayed subdued as they pursued their mostly one-sided discussion. Walking behind them as she skimmed around the room boredly. "I'll probably get a call from my father once he gets the message I left on his phone. You can talk directly to him at that time." Informing her about the meager assessment, both of them stopped walking as the woman looked at him with calm, dull eyes.

"Is it all right?"

"Of course! I can't give you my father's cell phone number, but you can use my phone. Of course, it's no use if you don't trust the both of us..." Laughing in the end with an enthusiastic smile (Y/n) pressed her lips together and glanced at the woman, giving her a nod. "That man is too enthusiastic about everything, so don't pay him much mind." Nodding in understanding at her statement, the woman spotted the lollipop that was in her mouth was an unnatural color... a brown yet red color?

'Who is this cheery guy?' Ryuk thought, floating behind (Y/n) as he felt a chill go down his spine.

Bowing in gratitude, Naomi said: "Thank you."

"You've managed to lead her along well, Light." Ryuk complimented him, his smile wide as usual as all three of them gazed at the woman.

"I hope my dear brother doesn't give you any trouble. Yin-Kun is a bit too helpful sometimes to the point he forgets where he stands..."
